Kona Bear

Knowing browns of molten Tiger’s Eye give me a loving look One ear cocked, and the other is always half-flopped just so Now and then, her exuberance forgets she’s a large Alsatian as she snuggles for cuddles as a wiggly fur ball named Kona… Bearing colors of her timber wolf kin, she is more like a lamb Eagerly, she’ll swim to fetch a stick, which she’ll then go hide away in the thick bramble she will scramble while I yell whoa! Returning home, she’ll lick my toes till I’m filled with laughter... (12/11/2019 For my favorite animal contest)

glad it brought you a smile...I live with three dogs, a cat, and a turtle - none of which are mine but we are all very attached to each other and since their owners are gone most of the day, we have gotten very used to each other and they take me for walks most days :)

This was a beautiful acrostic and I could feel the love in each line. Pets are wonderful and do make life so much more "Bear"able. Your pup sounds amazing and so lovable.

thank you Chris...that's true...she is very bear-huggable. She's actually a room-mate's but we've sort of adopted each other and she spends more time with me since I work from home, while her owner's gone most of the day :)

glad you enjoyed it, Ann..yes, Kona can always make me laugh or make me move (I get very sluggish when the weather turns chilly) as she insists on getting her way, in a very charming manner :)
